Ian Acheson served as both and officer and Governor in a 20-year career that saw him move from the landings to the boardroom. During that time he watched Her Majesty's Prison Service, the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve, collapse into a hopeless and helpless bureaucracy presiding over feral penal dustbins warehousing human failure. This hard-hitting account looks at the politics and the operational decision making which have our prisons to descend into places where extreme violence, indolence and victimisation are normalised. He concludes that the situation is not beyond repair and describes how a new corporate culture and mission can achieve a much-needed revolution in the way the service is run.

They have shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind. Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus Christ was or why he had mattered. Instead, there were many different Jesuses, among them the arrogant, aggressive Christ who scorned his parents and killed and crippled those who opposed him; the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead - then laughed. Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. Among them were Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who made the blind see; gentle, long-haired Apollonius, who raised the dead; and Salmoxis, who promised his followers eternal life. But as Christianity spread across the Mediterranean, these other saviours were pronounce unacceptable - and in some cases heretical - and they faded from view.

Months earlier, Ben and his best friend gave testimony that sent a former classmate, Alistair Heywood, to prison for a vicious sexual assault. Before the trial, the boys and their families endured months of brutal witness intimidation, for which the Heywoods, a privileged and influential local family, faced no legal repercussions. Instead, they vowed revenge. Is Ben's murder the fulfilment of that vow, the beginning of a bloody new chapter that will go on claim lives on all sides? Or is the truth - as the Heywoods claim - something entirely different? To solve the case, Robin has to negotiate the city's networks of power while walking a dangerous line: her own daughter, Lennie, has a secret that could threaten her liberty.

Nooruddean Choudry was born in 1979 - the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose, Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the last Shah of Iran, and Tim Martin opened his first Wetherspoons. Also that year, a local football club that would become an all-consuming obsession for young Nooruddean lost the Cup Final to Arsenal courtesy of a man named Sunderland. This is a deeply personal account of growing up in the late 80s and 90s as a Muslim Asian Mancunian kid during the most successful period in Manchester United's history.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Choudry, Nooruddean<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>Manchester : HarperNorth, 2024.<br />320 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cm<br /><br />Hangleton Library - (Brighton and Hove City Libraries) - Adult NonFiction - 920 CHO - Available - 95000000136991<br />Jubilee Library - (Brighton and Hove City Libraries) - Adult NonFiction - 920 CHO - Available - 95000000136479<br /> https://brighton-hove.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/wPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=5629467&CF=BIB&ISGLB=0 The sea is steady for now. The land readies itself. What can be done with the woman on the cliff? On a wild and rugged island cut off and isolated to some, artist Nell feels the island is her home. It is the source of inspiration for her art, rooted in landscape, folklore and the feminine. The mysterious Inions, a commune of women who have travelled there from all over the world, consider it a place of refuge and safety, of solace in nature. All the islanders live alongside the strange murmurings that seem to emanate from within the depths of the island, a sound that is almost supernatural - a Summoning as the Inions call it. One day, a letter arrives at Nell's door from the reclusive Inions who invite Nell into the commune for a commission to produce a magnificent art piece to celebrate their long history.
